The forum needs a doh or knocking himself in the head smiley.

Oh, don't knock yourself out. I would blame it on the excitement.

You might have a point there. I usually use the keys to point out where such details are placed on a keyboard, so it could be the D-50. The keyboard on top of Perrier's Eminent could be a wood coloured Voyager, but Im not sure. I think I can spot some white mod/pitch wheels.

Could be the original MiniMoog

Yes the wooden side end part is too wide to match that part on a Voyager.

Hmm regarding the synth on top of Dominique's Eminent, the wooden endcap looks similar to the Minimoog endcap, however it could also be the Moog Source. It's difficult to se the exact number of white keys, The Source has 22 white keys and the Minimoog has 26. The Source did appear in Perrier's Oxygene Tour 97 setup, so it wouldn't be a surprise. No matter we'll probably see a load of nice pics as the tour is progressing

You can see the back of the minimoog of claude's setup, it looks to be bigger than the instrument on top of domino's eminent

How can you say that?
50% of the instruments used on Zoolook are on the list:
Eminent 310U, ARP 2600, EMS Synthi, Moog 55
Perhaps JMJ's setup has the Fairlight II?
Besides he can use another synth for those sounds (Nordlead II ?).

So the confirmed tracks on rimbertblog.com are: Rendez-Vous 2 and Souvenir de Chine.
He also mentioned Chronologie 2 will be possible.
Since the KORG PE 2000 is on the list, L'Orchestre Sous la Pluie will be played as well, as it was only used for that song and Equinoxe 8

/Mod edit: Quoting corrected to the real author.

It looks like that quoting has been gone wrong, because this sentence was written by me, not Jakob.

but there are no E-mu Emulator (for the choir pad and the tsut), and that's why I said so (and I believe that JMJ wants to play the leads).

Yeah I thought there was something about it that didn't sound like me. Still I said something similar in another thread, so it could as well has been pointed at me. It's corrected now.

It is a Moog Source. Just checked it along side a Source picture. If you look at that image of Dom with the synth, you can see the wooden end checks, the step down from the end check where it meets the alimimium body and the metal body running from the pitch/mod wheels. Also, the top of the body is flat. His notes sitting atop would be more raised if there were an array of filters knobs beneath.

Maybe Jarre has it now, replacing the wonky MemoryMoog as his main synth

I can also force myself to see that there is something shiny under the keys, as if it was the aluminim casing. Let's see

It would be smart to have a backup at least in his rig, in case the Memorymoog lets him down again. Thought he'd use the Jupiter 6 for that purpose at the Milan trial concert..

Perhaps it's part of the charm to have some risky synths in your setup..

It does add that 'certain' edge to the performance if your synth starts playing up
